It was a great day to run, bike and run some more through the hills of
San Antonio on Saturday. More than 200 top athletes from around the United States and Canada and as far away as Denmark and South Africa participated in
Powerman Florida, the sole qualifying event in Florida for the
2009 World Championship in Switzerland. Powerman returns to Florida after a hiatus of more than a decade.
The event was co-sponsored by the
Pasco County Sports Commission,
Florida Sports Foundation and
Exclusive Sports Marketing. Powerman is a grueling competition known as a duathlon: 8K (5 mile) run followed by a 53K (33 mile) bike race and another 8K (5 mile) run. The event also included a shorter Powerman Sprint, which covered half the distance of the main event.
Professional athletes were among the weekend competitors, including five-time
Ironman champion Heather Gollnick,
Powerman Malaysia champion Jason Spong and the reigning
US Elite National Duathlon Champion,
Anne Curi Preisig. To learn more about Powerman, visit
